Divorce not a pain in Spain!

Divorce not a pain in Spain!

Spain has become the second country in the world where divorce is better accepted socially, preceded only by Brazil.

About 79 per cent of Spaniards think that, when a couple is not able to solve marital problems, divorce is the best solution. The data was derived from a study in Spain”by Professor Diego Becerril Ruiz, Department of Sociology of University of Granada.

It also reflects the acceptance of divorce has increased in our country during the 90’s. The data collected from a complete bibliographical review, reveals the young, contrary to what could be expected, are not the sector of the population who is more in favour of divorce as a solution.

“They are the ones who disagrees most,” Becerril said.

Marital status also defines clear situations as regards the acceptation of divorce. The divorced and separated agree to a greater extent, whereas the widows and widowers are most in disagreement.

In his work, Becerril has also analysed the data of the World Values Survey, according to which for Spanish people “divorce is the most justifiable behaviour” among a series of proposed social behaviours such as prostitution, abortion or euthanasia.

With an average of 6.42 out of a possible 10, divorce is the most accepted, followed by homosexuality, with a 6.17.
On the other hand of the scales and against the high acceptance of divorce in Spain, the work of the researcher of the UGR has revealed that in Japan, of the 35 countries analysed divorce is worst accepted socially with just about 30 per cent polling in favour, followed by Phillipines and the USA.
